The detailed description of illustrative embodiments
Embodiments of the present invention are at least partially based on the discovery that the method for carbon tetrachloride is produced by the Light chlorimation of chloroform. Embodiment according to the present invention, reaction occur in carbon tetrachloride medium, and the carbon tetrachloride medium includes relative high levels The chloroform of chlorine and low relative levels.By practicing method of the invention, it was unexpectedly found that can be to be shown to carbon tetrachloride It writes selectivity and obtains the available level of conversion of industry.Advantageously, it has been found possible to maintain the formation of carbon trichloride low In commercially acceptable level, the carbon trichloride is generated by two trichloromethyl group dimerization.Therefore, real according to the present invention Applying carbon tetrachloride product caused by mode can be used as crude product stream in subsequent synthetic processes [for example, Wladyslaw Karas reacts (Kharasch reaction)] in directly use, it is organic to remove undesirable severe chlorination without expensive purifying Object.
Method is summarized
The general introduction of one or more embodiment of the invention can be described with reference to Fig. 1, and Fig. 1 shows chlorination 11.Carbon tetrachloride feeding flow 12 ' and chlorine feed stream 14 ' provide carbon tetrachloride 12 and chlorine 14 to introduce step 13, wherein Carbon tetrachloride 12 and chlorine 14 merge so that the mixture of carbon tetrachloride 12 and chlorine 14 is consequently formed, and are referred to as initially mixed Close object 15.The original mixture 15 of carbon tetrachloride and chlorine is then subjected to from electromagnetic radiation source in free radical forming step 17 18 electromagnetic radiation 18 '.Free radical forming step 17 forms the mixture 19 of chlorine, carbon tetrachloride and chlorine radical, It is properly termed as free based mixtures 19.
Chloroform 20 is introduced free based mixtures 19 by chloroform feeding flow 20 ', to form reaction mixture 22, and is occurred anti- Step 21 is answered, product carbon tetrachloride required for converting chloroform 20 to, and generate byproduct of reaction hydrochloric acid 24.Tetrachloro Change carbon, chlorine and hydrochloric acid to be included in product mixtures 28, is considered the intermediate product stream from reaction step 21 28' or crude product stream 28'.Then, crude product stream 28' can be subjected to one or more extra process steps 25, for example, desorption step Suddenly (stripping step) 25 (it may include such as air lift), by via air-flow 24 ' remove at least part chlorine and Hydrochloric acid 24 is concentrated carbon tetrachloride 26 by the stream 26' of purifying.
In one or more embodiments, the carbon tetrachloride 26 of at least part purifying can be followed by recycle stream 29 ' It is looped back to reaction step 21.The carbon tetrachloride 26 of at least part purifying can be by the product stream 30 ' of purifying in other ways Recycling is used as product 30.As described above, the stream 26 ' of purifying advantageously can be directly used as reaction stream in subsequent chemistry synthesis Without distillation process, the distillation process may be needed for removing organic substance originally, for example, severe chloridized organic closes Object is often the by-product in chlorinated organics manufacture.Nevertheless, but there is still a need for flow into product for special-purpose Row is further purified.Therefore, certain embodiments of the invention may include that distillation process is further pure with convection current 26' progress Change.
One alternative method scheme may refer to Fig. 2 and be described, and Fig. 2 shows chlorination 31.From into The carbon tetrachloride 12 of stream 12 ' is combined with the electromagnetic radiation 18 ' from radiation source 18, to provide via radiation in being introduced into step 33 Medium 32.Chloroform 20 from feeding flow 20 ' merges with the chlorine 14 from feeding flow 14 ', to be formed in merging step 35 Reaction-ure mixture 34.In this step, carbon tetrachloride can optionally merge with chloroform 20 and chlorine 14.
Medium 32 (it is continuously subjected to electromagnetic radiation) via radiation and reaction-ure mixture 34 are introduced in step 37 with shape At reaction mixture 22, reaction step 21 is generated, carbon tetrachloride (that is, chloroform is chlorinated) is converted by chloroform 20 and generates Hydrochloric acid as byproduct of reaction.Carbon tetrachloride and hydrochloric acid are included in product mixtures 28, are considered and The intermediate product stream 28' or crude product stream 28' of autoreaction step 21.Then, crude product stream 28' can be subjected to one or more volumes Outer procedure of processing 25, for example, desorption procedure 25 (it may include such as air lift), by via the removal of air-flow 24 ' at least one Part chlorine and hydrochloric acid 24 are concentrated carbon tetrachloride 26 by the stream 26' of purifying.
In one or more embodiments, at least part carbon tetrachloride 26 can be circulated back to by recycle stream 29 ' Initial step 33 and/or step 35.The carbon tetrachloride 26 of at least part purifying can be by the product stream 30 ' of purifying with other Mode is recycled as product 30.As above refering to what is shown in Fig. 1, can be to avoid additional purifying, such as distill.And in certain implementations In mode, it may be necessary in addition purify, including distillation.
System for carrying out chloroform chlorination
System for carrying out the method for the present invention can be described with reference to Fig. 3, and Fig. 3 is shown for carrying out chlorination System 51.System 51 includes reaction vessel 53, and the reaction vessel 53 includes entrance 57, outlet 61, lamp 63, agitating element 65 and product exit 67.
It, will be by the chloroform 54 of chloroform feeding flow 54 ' and for example, by the four of recycle stream 75 ' according to illustrative embodiments Chlorination carbon merges, to form reactant pre-composition.Then merged with reactant pre-composition by the chlorine 52 of feeding flow 52 ' (for example, Pass through online sprayer), to form reaction-ure mixture in stream 77 ', the reactant pre-composition includes chloroform and four chlorinations Carbon.It, can the mixing or in other ways in mixing arrangement (for example, online mixer 55) as shown in figure 3, before introducing chlorine Stir chloroform and carbon tetrachloride.In not shown other embodiment, it is contained in stream 77 ' and contains chlorine, chloroform and tetrachloro The mixture for changing carbon can be similarly stirred before being introduced into reactor 53.
Then, feeding flow 77 ' is introduced into reactor 53 by entrance 57.As described above, the electromagnetic radiation from lamp 63 is led Chlorination reaction is caused, chloroform is converted into carbon tetrachloride as a result,.Carbon tetrachloride product obtained is as product stream 66 ' from reactor 53 are removed by outlet 67, and product stream 66' is also referred to as crude product stream 66'.Product stream 66 ' can also include chloroform, chlorine and chlorine Change one of hydrogen or a variety of and low relative levels other by-products.Gaseous by-product (such as hydrogen chloride and chlorine) can lead to It crosses outlet 61 to remove from reactor 53, to form stream 79'.The stream can be neutralized, for disposing or further separating, To separate chlorine and hydrochloric acid, other synthesis chemical processes then can be used for.
